Nice might get that Mi Box afterall. Their Samsung Smart TV app sucks and they haven't bothered to update it since May (still has the old logo and everything).

And still no Windows 10 support! ShowMax is useless to me without Windows 10 support - even then, it will be a hassle, but at least possible.
It's much easier to develop a Win10 app than any other platform, yet they don't do it.

Well, by using your logic, they should then can all the apps they got since everyone can just use the browser. :wtf:

If they publish a Win10 app and do it properly, they will have a app for XBOX, PC and Phone. The can try and argue about phone adoption, but they cannot use that argument to not publish to PC and Xbox.

aspect ratio? Because i am not a fan of that small letter box type thing on a big ass screen when i tried ShowMax 
okay looks like it will support larger screens. Will check this out again, as its a bit cheaper than Netflix. Not sure on the quality of the content, but will have a look.

You should never have moved to Windows 10

I think most users do it via consoles anyway? (Streaming)

is there no console support ie Xbox as well?
if they really want Showmax to take off they will build a Kodi Plug in. handle the login from teh start, make their own plug in so they can control everything.
that will cover windows 7 to 10
Rasberi PI devices
Android devices
definately would have been the easier way to do things IMHO.

Yea, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon and the likes work fine. Just not Showmax.

Sideloaded the app on my Amazon Fire TV stick this weekend, works great and the interface looks good.
Showmax just needs to make the app available on the amazon app store, this will make it easier for people that do not know how to sideload apps.

How is this different from having the mobile app on your Android computer? Controls arranged better?
